TASTE OF CHONGQING

One of the most genuinely satisfying Sichuan meals I’ve had in London. The dry-fried beef with chillies was exactly how it should be — aggressively fragrant, properly numbing, and unapologetically spicy. It’s not a “decorative chilli” dish for show; the heat and aroma are the point, and the beef still holds its texture underneath the mountain of dried chillies. The braised beef with radish was a perfect counterbalance — rich, slow-cooked depth, radish fully soaked in the broth, warming rather than overwhelming. You can tell the base stock has been patiently simmered, not rushed. The Sichuan cold glass noodles were excellent too: elastic noodles, well-seasoned chilli oil, savoury minced meat and peanuts giving it both texture and comfort. A deceptively simple dish done properly. I also appreciated the lighter dishes — the steamed fish cakes with baby bok choy were delicate and clean, letting the ingredients speak, while the stir-fried pork belly with green peppers had great wok hei and balance between fat, spice and freshness. Overall, this is not a place trying to “tone down” Sichuan food. The flavours are confident, traditional, and clearly aimed at people who actually enjoy real Sichuan cuisine. Portions are generous, food comes out hot, and everything feels intentional. If you’re looking for authentic, full-bodied Sichuan flavours rather than a watered-down version, this place is absolutely worth coming back to.

Really solid Sichuan food. The dry-fried beef with chillies was properly spicy and fragrant - not toned down at all, which I really loved. The braised beef with radish was rich and comforting, with the radish fully soaked in the broth. Also loved the cold glass noodles! great texture, well-seasoned, and very satisfying. Good balance between bold, spicy dishes and lighter ones. Portions were generous and everything tasted freshly cooked. Definitely a good spot if you’re looking for authentic Sichuan flavours rather than a mild version.

Guys, this dry pot fish fillet is insanely fragrant 🤤 The portion is huge, and you can totally tell it’s freshly made. The quality is top-notch. The rice was piping hot—perfect for a rainy day, and it warmed me up completely after the meal. The interior decor is also really beautiful.

Chongqing cuisine is a fiery, bold culinary experience that packs a punch with its intense flavors and vibrant spices. Known for its liberal use of chili and Sichuan peppercorns, it delivers a thrilling balance of heat and numbing sensations that awaken the palate. The dishes are hearty, unapologetically robust, and deeply satisfying, reflecting the city's lively spirit. Perfect for adventurous eaters who crave a spicy, soul-warming meal.

Casually went to eat something with a friend and we both loved it! The food is very well seasoned and the staff is super nice! The place is also very beautiful and really pair good with the kind of food they serve with fair prices are fair and satisfying portions. Also, they have cute moon cakes that are to try!

Placed an order for stir fried rice, broccoli and rabbit stir fry. Rice and broccoli was edible, rabbit was stale, full of bones and they had added lots of chillies despite requesting for medium spicy, in the end 90% of the serving couldn’t eat, started having stomach cramps and had to stop eating. The lady swee waiter was rude and demanding for the bill of whopping £52.00 she after arguing reduced £7 but as you can see in pictures it was not edible and I feared my tooth might crack. As you can see in the pictures below, K was unable eat 10% of the food and walked out without eating but paid hefty amount - Avoid this place like plague

I had an amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu offered a great variety, and everything we ordered was delicious and authentic. The beef and fried chicken are just the right amount of spice. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a modern touch. Plus, the service was quick, and the food arrived fresh and hot. Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in the UK! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for authentic and tasty Chinese cuisine.

Good food, but service could be better. The dishes were tasty and well-prepared, especially the mapo tofu, but the service felt a bit rushed and inattentive. If they improved their customer care, this place could easily be a top choice for Sichuan-style food in the area.
